CEDI OSMAN NEWS

Big night off bench Osman provided 24 points (8-13 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists across 31 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 120-104 win over the Hornets.

Impact The 27-year-old saw his biggest workload since Feb, 2 with Jarrett Allen (eye) out of the lineup, and that was also the last time Osman scored more than 10 points. His bench role doesn't typically afford him much fantasy upside when the Cavs' roster is healthy, but Osman could be an intriguing DFS option if Allen misses additional time.

Available Friday Osman (back) is available for Friday's game versus the Hawks.

Impact Despite being listed as questionable with a low-back contusion, Osman will suit up for the second half of the Cavaliers' back-to-back Friday. He played 27 minutes Thursday but struggled with his shot and scored just five points.

Questionable for Friday Osman is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks due to a low-back contusion, Danny Cunningham of 850 ESPN Cleveland reports.

Impact Osman was sidelined for the Cavaliers' final contest before the All-Star break due to neck spasms, but he returned to action Thursday and posted five points (2-8 FG), three assists and two rebounds in 27 minutes. However, he appears to have picked up a back injury during that contest, and his status for the second half of Cleveland's back-to-back is now in question.

Not listed on injury report Osman (neck) isn't listed on the Cavaliers' injury report for Thursday's matchup against Denver.

Impact Osman missed Cleveland's final game before the All-Star break due to neck spasms, but he appears to have benefitted from the extended time off and should be back in the mix Thursday. Before his absence, Osman had appeared in 24 straight games and posted 8.1 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 18.3 minutes during that stretch.

Won't play against Philadelphia Osman (neck) is out for Wednesday's game versus the 76ers.

Impact Osman has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday due to neck spasms. Lamar Stevens, Caris LeVert and Isaac Okoro are candidates to see extended minutes in his absence. His next chance to suit up will be after the All-Star break on Feb. 23 against Denver.

Dealing with neck spasms Osman is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the 76ers due to neck spasms.

Impact Osman was a late addition to the injury report, along with Ricky Rubio (illness). If both of the backup guards are ultimately ruled out, Caris LeVert and Raul Neto would be the primary backups behind Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell.

Cedi Osman ties Cavaliers career high with 29 points against Clippers: Behind the Numbers Cedi Osman says he feels the eyes of young players in Europe on him when he takes the court in the NBA.

JANUARY 30, 2023 • CLEVELAND.COM

Erupts for season-high 29 points Osman ended Sunday's 122-99 victory over the Clippers with 29 points (11-13 FG, 7-7 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 22 minutes.

Impact Osman was just about flawless from the field in the win, putting together easily his best game of the season. Up against an undermanned Clippers team, Osman was able to get to his spots with ease while also chipping in three combined blocks and steals. Though his performance is sure to turn some heads, it came on the back of unsustainable shooting, and Osman also saw a slight uptick in playing time while the Cavaliers were down a key frontcourt piece in Kevin Love (back). Osman had averaged 8.2 points in 17.4 minutes per game on 46.9 shooting from the field over his prior five games, and that level of efficiency, playing time and scoring production is probably more representative of what to expect from him moving forward.

Leads bench in scoring Osman chipped in 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Friday's 120-114 loss to Golden State.

Impact Osman put together a strong performance off the bench by shooting with efficiency from deep. His contributions were a welcome sight after being held to 12 total points in his last six contests. Osman's workload was also a promising sign, as he'd been averaging 10.0 minutes over his last six appearances heading into Friday's matchup.

JANUARY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Underwhelms again Saturday Osman produced six points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one assist and one steal across 16 minutes during Saturday's 110-102 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Osman logged fewer than 20 minutes for the fourth consecutive game, continuing what has been a lean season. While he has had moments of relevance, on the whole, it's been a season full of nothing. Despite averaging 22.6 minutes per night, he currently sits well outside the top 250 in 12-team formats, leaving him well off the fantasy radar, even in deeper formats.

JANUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal impact in loss Osman supplied zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist across 11 minutes during Tuesday's 116-114 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Osman scored in double figures in six consecutive appearances between late December and early January, but he's seen his playing time drop off over the last two games now that Evan Mobley, Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell are all back on the court. Osman has totaled just three points over his last two appearances.

JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pops for 15 points Friday Osman notched 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 121-108 loss to Denver.

Impact Osman scored in double-digits for the sixth consecutive game, continuing what has been a solid run of production. With a number of players having missed time recently, Osman has been the player to step into a larger role. While the scoring has been nice, he remains outside the top 150 over the past two weeks, meaning he should be looked at as a points streamer only, at least until the Cavaliers are fully healthy.

Drops 19 off bench Monday Osman had 19 points (6-13 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 36 minutes off the bench during Monday's 145-134 overtime win over Chicago.

Impact The 36 minutes represented his largest workload since late November, as Evan Mobley (ankle) missed his second straight game and Kevin Love fouled out late. Osman took advantage of the opportunity, scoring in double digits for the fourth straight contest and the sixth time in his last eight, a stretch in which he's averaging 13.0 points, 1.9 threes, 1.8 assists and 1.6 boards. The 27-year-old's lack of secondary stats limits his fantasy appeal, but Osman's been a reliable source of offense from the Cavaliers' second unit.

JANUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Drops 12 points in return Osman closed with 12 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Saturday's 103-102 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Osman returned after a one-game absence due to a back injury, logging meaningful minutes off the bench. He has now scored in double digits in three straight games, though his supporting stats are nothing to write home about. He is a regular feature in the rotation and yet currently sits well outside the top 250 in standard formats.

JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to play Saturday Osman (back) is available for Saturday's game versus Bulls.

Impact Osman has been upgraded from probable to available Saturday after missing the previous game with a back injury. He is averaging 11.8 points, 1.2 assists and 1.0 rebounds in 21.8 minutes across his last five appearances.

DECEMBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Saturday Osman (back) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Bulls, Danny Cunningham of 850 ESPN Cleveland reports.

Impact Osman popped up on the injury report with lower back soreness earlier in the week and was held out of Thursday's game due to the issue. With Evan Mobley (ankle) and Darius Garland (thumb) also questionable, the Cavaliers may be left shorthanded Saturday.

DECEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Thursday Osman (back) will not play Thursday versus the Pacers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Osman popped up on the injury report following Monday's tilt versus the Nets and was listed as questionable initially before being ruled out. It's unfortunate timing for Osman, who is coming off double-digit points in three of the last four games, but his next chance to play now arrives Saturday in the Windy City.

DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Thursday Osman is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pacers due to low back soreness.

Impact Osman appeared in the last six matchups and averaged 12.2 points in 21.5 minutes per game during that time. He was a late addition to Thursday's injury report, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up against Indiana. If he's unavailable, Lamar Stevens and Kevin Love are candidates to see increased playing time.

DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Another double-digit scoring effort Osman accumulated 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 125-117 loss to the Nets.

Impact Osman led the Cavaliers second unit in scoring, posting his second consecutive double-digit point total and his third in the last four contests. Osman has scored 10 or more points on 15 occasions this year.
